PALMER – Police are investigating an unarmed robbery at Rite Aid on Thorndike Street on Tuesday night in which a white male demanded drugs from the pharmacist.

Detective Sgt. Scott E. Haley said the man had two large Band-Aids on his face, a red goatee, and was wearing a light brown cowboy hat and a dark leather jacket. Haley said the man was described as heavy set, and in his late 30s or early 40s.

He said a small amount of drugs was given to the man, who then ran out of the store. Haley said a police dog from Monson tracked the suspect to Pleasant Street, but lost the trail. Haley said police believe he got into a car on that street and left the area. The robbery was reported at 7:51 p.m.

Haley described the drugs as “narcotics.” Anyone with information is asked to call Palmer police at (413) 283-8792.
